Neon City Won’t Kneel

Raina Crosswick wakes on a Helix Dominion scrap table, priced at $900 and marked for dismantling—until her forbidden Warspine implant hijacks a war mech and turns the city against its masters. Now every drone, mercenary, and corporate killer is hunting her, while Carson Drakeholt, a cold ex-heir with a hacker’s crown, offers protection that feels as dangerous as betrayal. To free the Sprawl, Raina must lead a neon rebellion, trust the man who could sell her back, and use the weapon in her spine before it burns away the woman inside.
